Hi mojo, great thread. I've been researching up on DIY LED for awhile but haven't done anything because I am a novice DIYer with no electronic skills. Your guide is easy to understand and the pictorials help a lot. I have an RSM too and would like to try my hand on replicating what you've done here. I have a few questions but first of all is it doable for an electronic-challenged person?
If so here are my questions:
1) Looking at the kit you link to on reefledlights.com, I don't see the wires. So I assume I'd have to get wires, but how long and what kind?
2) How did you fit the heat sink and secure it in the reflector area?
3) Once the stock lights are taken out, does the timer on the hood control only the fans?
4) Do I plug the both strips on timers once the mod is done or is it possible to wire one of both strips to the stock timer?
5) In the later build you wired each strip to a timer, do you mind sharing how that's done?
That's all I can think of right now. Now I am trying to gain the basic knowledge. I am sure I'll run into issues when I actually attempt this. Thanks.
